I tried to be even-handed, and noted that the OMD's manual controls outpaced the G5.

Ephotozine disagrees I think:

"The Panasonic Lumix G5 with built in flash and large hand grip gives a great all-in-one package with excellent handling and external controls. Both cameras give excellent control with external buttons and controls that can be customised, however the Panasonic Lumix G5 makes this easier with a clearer and better designed menu and control system. The G5 also makes better use of the touch screen, while the E-M5s menu system is mostly still controlled by the 4-way buttons on the back."

The comment you quote was part of a discussion about the two camera's video capabilities. The EM5 has much better manual control over video settings than the G5. It's got nothing to do with external buttons.  Explain to me how you would use those buttons to gain more manual control over the G5's video settings?  It's not really debatable, and Ephotozine would not disagree with that point.
